Traveling through time as a peasant girl, buying a husband and raising a child

Chapter 154: So scared

"Young Master Zheng has misunderstood!"

After being scolded by Zheng Ziyi, Liu Xinian didn't even call him by his name, but just called him Young Master Zheng. Then he bowed and stopped talking!

Seeing him like this, Zheng Ziyi thought he had really hit the nail on the head on his mind, and became even more furious, and was about to start cursing again.

"Who is making a noise at the city gate?"

At this moment, a majestic voice was heard. Mu Jiaojiao and Jiang Jin in the carriage were quite familiar with this voice. It was Xia Linzhi, the magistrate of Maple Leaf City!

"Uncle Xia, please help my nephew! He was beaten by this country bumpkin!"

When Zheng Ziyi heard the voice, his eyes lit up with joy. He looked towards the city gate where the voice came from, and saw his father Zheng Qingshi and Maple Leaf City County Magistrate Xia Linzhi.

Zheng Ziyi hurriedly trotted to Xia Linzhi, respectfully called him "Uncle Xia", and then complained in a shrill voice.

"Who dares to hurt my son like this? Brother Xia, you must seek justice for my son!"

When Zheng Qingshi saw Zheng Ziyi's face covered with blue and purple, anger suddenly appeared on his wrinkled face, and he pleaded with Xia Linzhi who was standing beside him.

"Brother Zheng, please calm down, nephew Zheng. I'm going to go see who this brat is, so bold as to not only injure the county constable, but also assault nephew Zheng!"

Xia Linzhi tried to comfort the two of them, but then a hint of anger appeared on his face. He didn't care if this man beat Zheng Ziyi. Zheng Ziyi was domineering and deserved to be beaten.

But this man also beat up the county constable, which was a slap in the face of the Maple Leaf City County Magistrate!

Xia Linzhi thought of this and walked towards the city gate with a fierce momentum. He was about to ask again, "Who dares to..." make a noise at the city gate?!

Then he saw Wushuang and Zhao Xiangyi in the carriage, his voice stopped abruptly, and his expression froze.

"Ouch! Why are Master Zhao and Master Wushuang here?"

Xia Linzhi then reacted, a respectful smile immediately appeared on his face, and he walked forward to salute Wushuang.

He then looked at the carriage behind and trembled a little. Could it be...could it be that the gentleman is in there?

"Xia County Magistrate is so majestic!"

Mu Jiaojiao and Jiang Jin in the carriage naturally did not say anything. It was Wushuang who said this, and his voice was full of deterrence.

"I dare not!"

"Pfft!"

Xia Linzhi fell to his knees after being shouted at, bowing deeply to Wushuang with his head to the ground.

Although Wushuang is Jiang Jin's bodyguard now, he is also a fourth-rank loyal and martial general who accompanies Jiang Jin into battle. He is fully capable of withstanding a kneeling from Xia Linzhi, a seventh-rank county magistrate.

When the people behind saw Xia Linzhi kneel down neatly, the common people and Zheng's father and son also knelt down quickly, each of them terrified.

Liu Xinian, who was standing aside, had a flickering look in his eyes. He looked up at Wushuang and Zhao Xiangyi in the crowd. His guess was right. Zheng Ziyi was such a fool!

"What is there that Master Xia dares not do?

We allowed this kid from the Zheng family to cause trouble at the city gate, and we allowed the constables to abuse their power for personal gain and be controlled by a businessman who had no official position, and we even beat us with sticks.

Now County Magistrate Xia has rushed here in a hurry, isn’t he here to help these people get justice?

So, County Magistrate Xia, what else are you afraid of?"

Wushuang, who is usually taciturn, now asks Xia Linzhi in a straightforward tone, and he really looks like the loyal and martial general in the past.

"Please forgive me, sir. This matter is... the result of my negligence and poor management of my subordinates. I am willing to accept the punishment!"

Xia Linzhi was regretting his decision to the core. He happened to be drinking tea with Zheng Qingshi at that time.

When his subordinates came to report that the young master of the Zheng family was beaten at the city gate, and the constable of the yamen was also beaten by a young boy, he didn't think much about it and came here in a hurry!

结果

Who knew that it was this great god that was offended?

Ever since Prince Jin came to Cangzhou, he helped to handle the case of Yuncheng County Magistrate Gu Xiuyuan and has been behaving very modestly every day. Who would have thought that something bad would happen?

This Zheng Ziyi is really a troublemaker!

After Xia Linzhi finished speaking, he didn't hear Wushuang continue speaking, so he didn't dare to raise his head. He trembled and waited quietly.

Then everyone heard three knocking sounds coming from the carriage, which clearly reached the ears of those who were close to the carriage.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

Wushuang heard the knocking sounds, looked at the people kneeling down, and gave instructions to the Zheng father and son who were feeling uneasy below, as well as Xia Linzhi who was trembling in his heart.

"Go into the city first. You've wasted time today. Those who want to enter the city later must follow the rules!"

"Yes, sir!"

Wushuang sat down after he finished speaking and motioned Zhao Xiangyi to drive into the city. Zhao Xiangyi pulled the reins of the horse and drove the carriage towards the city gate.

The people kneeling on the ground didn't dare to speak. When they saw the horse's hooves approaching them, they moved to allow the carriage to enter the city smoothly.

Then the sound of the carriage gradually faded away. Xia Linzhi stood up with a pale face, wiped the sweat from his face, and watched the shadow of the carriage disappear.

"Brother Xia, this...what is this?"

Zheng Qingshi realized that his son was in big trouble this time when he knelt down. He stood up and asked Xia Linzhi about the identities of everyone in the carriage.

"Zheng Qingshi, what a good son you have!"

Xia Linzhi did not answer his question, but raised his voice and spoke in a stern tone, as if he wanted to eat this disgusting thing.

"Get up, everyone. Why are you kneeling?"

Then Xia Linzhi walked up to the constables who had finished stacking the Arhats and were kneeling for a long time, kicked the leading constable, and gave an angry order.

These idle guys are causing him trouble every day!

“Yes, yes, yes!”

The chief constable who was kicked did not dare to refute. He immediately used his hands and feet to stand up while enduring the pain.

"Continue to arrange for the people to enter the city according to the rules. Cheer up!"

Xia Linzhi then gave orders to the soldiers guarding the city. These soldiers were also tactless, and he became more and more upset.

"You all follow me!"

After carefully arranging matters at the city gate and making sure there were no mistakes, Xia Linzhi led the Zheng family father and son, as well as the man who had been beaten black and blue, into the city.

He was now nervous and only hoped that Prince Jin would keep his official hat because of his hard work in the private mining business, even if he had no merit.

Hey!

No matter how careful you are, things still happen unexpectedly in unexpected ways!

Wushuang called Zhao Xiangyi and drove the carriage to the gate of the county government office. He stopped the carriage and waited quietly.

Jiang Jin and Mu Jiaojiao originally didn't want to come to the Maple Leaf City County Government Office this time, but they encountered this incident and had no choice but to come to the County Government Office to deal with the matter!

"This County Magistrate Xia seems terribly frightened!"

Mu Jiaojiao looked at Jiang Jin who was calm beside her and said casually. She could feel Xia Linzhi trembling from his voice.
